William Nelson Copley Figurative Prints

American, 1919-1996
William Nelson Copley, also known as CPLY, was an American painter with his works being classified as late Surrealist and a precursor to Pop Art. Copley’s works evolved from the early 50s and 60s, ironic and humorous images of Western saloons, cowboys, and pin-up girls, to the late 1960s where his pieces were considered a combination of American and Mexican folk art. In the 70s he focused on the differences and challenges between men and women in romantic and sexual relationships. Among Copley’s solo exhibitions was a show in Amsterdam by the Stedlijk Museum, which became the first public institution to add a Copley to their collection.

Inc, 2003, pp.210 and 221, IIB.402 IIB.403 Though Warhol began his career as a fashion and children’s book illustrator, much of his later work focused on fame, consumer culture and the cult of celebrities as signifiers. In his exploration of fame, he would occasionally dip into the pool of politics and politicians. In the last year before his death in 1987, using a photograph by Philipp Schönborn, Warhol centered his attention on one of his final subjects - Vladimir Lenin.
